Aaron Brooks

[Nighthawk]

How many of you would be willing to give this guy a shot? The reason I say that is because if there is going to be an open competition for the QB position next year, then I want somebody who could do something with it and not a journeyman backup like Holcomb.

Brooks isn't any better then Holcomb - and even if he is, he isn't good enough to lead a team deep in the playoffs so what is the point.

I say yes. I mean, no. I mean, yes. I mean, no. I mean, yes. I mean, no. I mean....

I say yes. I mean, no. I mean, yes. I mean, no. I mean, yes. I mean, no. I mean....
Decision. Now.

[ICE74129]

Brooks? HELL NO.

[R. Rich]

Decision. Now.


Do you want a guy whose performance is as up and down as that post?

[Billsouth]

at least brooks has some performances that r considered on the upside.

i would definitely consider him or another veteran.

MAYBE WE CAN TRADE OUR PICK TO DALLAS FOR BLEDSOE?

This was a thread a few days ago and here are Brooks's stats over the last five seasons, Holcombs stats don't even come close!!!!!

After five seasons in New Orleans (2000-04), Brooks ranks second in club history in every major passing category - including yards (16,274), attempts (2,340), completions (1,323) and touchdowns (107) - and first with an 81.5 passer rating. He has emerged as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks since 2001, with 98 touchdown tosses over that span and over 3,500 yards each season. Brooks has thrown for over 250 yards in a team-record 28 regular season games, and in 30 contests including the playoffs. In 2004, he completed 309-of-542 attempts for 3,810 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. It was the fourth straight season where he had over 20 touchdown passes and over 3,500 passing yards, with both streaks signifying the best in Saints record books. Since arriving in New Orleans, he has emerged as one of the NFL's top comeback artists by engineering 16 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime, including five in 2004. Brooks took over as the team leader in 2000 in relief of injured starter Jeff Blake in Week 11 (vs. Oakland, 11/19/00), started the following week and has not missed the opening snap since. Brooks has played in 72 regular-season games with the Saints, including starting the last 69 contests. His 441 passing yards vs. Denver (12/3/00) is the highest single-game total in franchise history, and Brooks is also the only Saints quarterback to rush for over 100 yards in a contest (108 vs. San Francisco, 12/10/00). Last season vs. the Broncos (11/21/04), Brooks set club marks for attempts (60) and completions (34) in a contest.


Brooks would be a big upgrade over any QB on your current roster. I don't know how some of you form your opinions because your opinions don't match his stats!!

Now your talkin!!!! That would be the greatest possible move. Get back the winningest QB of the Donahoe era and put him with real coaching and better players, I kno this will never happen, but it would be cool.

[EDS]

It is thinking like that that leads to mediocrity.

[Jan Reimers]

Matt Schaub, if we could get him for a reasonable price, has far more upside than Brooks.

[Billsrock4life]

i think brooks would b good in buffalo.... definetly better than holcomb and he didnt do that bad in new orleans when he had good player round him in buffalo he would have alot of talent around him so he would do well

[feelthepain]

Brooks can run and throw and with the Bills speedy WR's he would be able to stretch the field and run for 60-70 yrds a game while throwing for 250. This would also open the running lanes for Willis. Plus , he will probably come cheap, compared to other options.

Is Schaub a UFA? I thought he was still under contract. Even if he is a UFA, he won't come cheap.
